  1. jobs in informatics

    ikarus01 replied to MissRN11's topic in Nursing Informatics

    This will probably raise more questions with those learning about informatics, as the link is about AHIMA but rninformatics wrote a post on this, which I'll leave below in case people start wondering...

  2. jobs in informatics

    ikarus01 replied to MissRN11's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Salary depends in many factors, experience (obviously), where you live, size of hospital, and even the solution you're working with, not to also mention your ability to negotiate. Is not fair to say...

  3. jobs in informatics

    ikarus01 replied to MissRN11's topic in Nursing Informatics

    This really depends on your previous experience in the field and what you want to do. We have interviewed a few candidates with master's and little or no experience and these candidates are applying...

  4. Transition to NI

    ikarus01 replied to KerPow1977's topic in Nursing Informatics

    It really depends how the company does it. I used to work for a vendor and they gave us a company credit card. We had I think 45 days to pay the bill. Thus, you charged your hotel, car rental, and...

  5. Transition to NI

    ikarus01 replied to KerPow1977's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You can travel, but traveling in informatics is setup a bit different than travel nursing. I used to be a travel nurse long ago, and I would say things are definitely not setup the same in the world...

  6. Need help in career direction please!

    ikarus01 replied to jp1234's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I actually went the computer science direction, but that's because when I was doing my nursing degree, I had done extra math and science courses as I couldn't decide if to go for a math degree or...

  7. Need help in career direction please!

    ikarus01 replied to jp1234's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You don't need to be an RN to be in this field. Plenty of LPN's out there working in this field. Something else to keep in mind, some hospitals I've worked with will put out a job ad for an analyst...

    ikarus01 replied to InformatixRN's topic in Nursing Informatics

  9. Clinical abstractor

    ikarus01 replied to RN2588's topic in Nursing Informatics

    It could be since it can relate to the data gathering process and maybe building process when implementing a project. If you already have a bachelors, a masters in nursing informatics or health...

  10. CNA interested in Nurse Informatics

    ikarus01 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Nursing Informatics

    Find out if there is an informatics department in your hospital and see if you can help in any way. About 5 years ago we were implementing a system in a large hospital and we needed somebody to enter...

  12. "Clinical Systems Analyst" interview

    ikarus01 replied to VT2010's topic in Nursing Informatics

  13. Nursing Informatics Preceptorship/Jobs/Certifications

    ikarus01 replied to NycoleParmeter's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Depending on the job, you can still apply for it, even if it says 5-10 years of experience. I've been at hospitals where they put the same type of ad (x years of experience required), yet they get...

  14. Nursing Informatics...once there, no going back?

    ikarus01 replied to OldITgeek's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I used to work as a clinical nurse, then got a full time job in IT. At the time though, many IT companies were doing layoffs so i figured best for me to continue working PRN on the side just to keep...

  15. Clinical systems analyst vs informatics

    ikarus01 replied to trein's topic in Nursing Informatics

    The difference is that a clinical analyst job is a catch phrase for all jobs out there. For example, do you need a nursing degree to configure the scheduling application of surgical center? No. Thus,...

  16. Call Schedule

    ikarus01 replied to Kabin's topic in Nursing Informatics

    As you acknowledged, the on call schedule varies from place to place and also many times the on call schedule is dictated by the number of analysts in a team. I've been in all types of scenarios and...

  17. How to sell myself for a NI position?

    ikarus01 replied to bajj78's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You need to emphasize this on your reusme, and obviously during your interview. If the position you saw is an entry level position, interviewers would probably want to know what related informatics...

  18. Missed opportunity for an easy way into epics anayltics

    ikarus01 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You don't need to have an MSN to get into informatics. If that was the case, then how come there are LPN's working in the field? Now, if you want to eventually become a manager or director, then...

  19. Leaving Healthcare IT

    ikarus01 replied to nursekiki1440's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I've worked in these type of environments before, and it is definitely detrimental to the morale, to your health, family life and everything else. In these places, it seemed like management never had...

    ikarus01 replied to cjg10RN's topic in Nursing Informatics

    On your previous post you mentioned that you really enjoyed being a super user, that you got compliments from your colleagues, and well in short, it seems to me, you would really have fun in an...

  21. Another spanish for nursing question

    ikarus01 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Believe me, you're never too old to learn a language. My mom managed to learn english in her late 50's and if you're a spanish speaker, learning english is not easy, specially when you're older, since...

  22. Life/Career at a Crossroads

    ikarus01 replied to Macbs4's topic in Nursing Informatics

    ICD-10 is more on the billing/coding department of jobs, or healthcare information management (HIM) related. You can google HIMMS to look at the different certifications they have in that professional...

  24. Any LPN's in informatics?

    ikarus01 replied to Mef118's topic in Nursing Informatics

    When you accepted the job, didn't you ask what you were going to be responsible for? Sometimes your role is generic and you do a bit of everything, and sometimes your role is very specific, so what...

    ikarus01 replied to jayjaskiki's topic in Nursing Informatics

    As ginger's mom says, you will have to find a hospital or facility that uses epic, apply for the job, and get the job. Or you can simply go to the epic website and apply for a job directly from epic....
